RadioShack

D.I.T.

The D.I.Y. community has always been a big part of RadioShack. But the truth is your not just doing it yourself, your getting advice from all sorts of places. And alot of times the projects the community are undertaking are about making multiple different things work together. So we evolved D.I.Y. to D.I.T. and made "Do It Together” RadioShack’s rally cry.

D.I.T. VINE FILMS

RadioShack and Vine a match made in heaven. With that said we created over 30 of these inspirational shorts. And to keep these feeling D.I.Y. (and within budget!) we created and shot these wondrous mashups all in-house. Here are a few examples.

#WANNAGETAWAY ISLAND

When relaunching the "Wanna Get Away" campaign we wanted to go beyond broadcast... and international waters. So, we bought an island off the coast of Belize, and the only way you could stay there was to share your most embarrassing story using #WannaGetAway. We monitored social media to find the most embarrassed and whisked them away so they could wash away their shame in crystal blue waters.

Chicken wings are the food of football. So why then would it comes to football viewing people were looking right passed one of the biggest chicken outfitters in the country.
